Math Example:

$1000 in Property Tax = $16,000 in purchases with a 6.25% sales tax

but we already pay 6.25% state sales tax

so...

Would the sales tax rate need to double?


Real world question:

If the sales tax doubled, would you buy less or simple buy more from out of state?


Comment:

I don't like the fact that property taxes are like renting my own house from the state.
I despise the idea of a Texas State Income Tax.
The state of Texas needs some level of revenue to perform valid state functions.
I don't have a solution to this problem.

The plan is to replace Property Tax revenue with an increase in Sales Tax.
